Carasau Ristorante

Beautiful Sardinian, Italian restaurant. The Calamari and Beef Carpaccio made for great appetizers. Definitely worth trying the Montanara pizza. 🍕 The crust was amazing came out hot and taste like freshly made pizza. I am not disappointed. Look forward to coming back and trying other dishes on the menu.

We enjoyed this cute little spot, I've been intending to try it for some time and finally made it. The Cauliflower veloute was velvety and the Fregola Salad was bright and refreshing. I'd never had Culurgiones before and they had a pesto version that day that was delightful.

Off the beaten path but worth a visit. Solid service, great food, and a pleasing ambiance. The focaccia is BANANAS. A must order. I loved the Bianca 4 Formaggi pizza and thought the Proscutto & Funghi pizza was just okay. Favorite pastas were the Saffron Ravioli and the Fregola Mediterranean. We also shared a lovely bottle of wine recommended by our server. It bears repeating...the thing I'm still thinking about is the focaccia!

What an incredible experience!! Came to Carasau on a Saturday night and did the tasting menu plus wine pairing. First of all, the restaurant has free, allocated parking spots, which made it super convenient! The crispy Sardinian bread was amazing. My favorite dishes were the Ravioli, Fregola di Mare, and Branzino! The Chef Vincenzo came to greet us and was so kind and told us al about the history of the restaurant. The wine pairing was the cherry on top! Chef Vincenzo also prepared us a surprise ravioli dish which was amazing. You can't miss the spot if you are dining in Culver City! This is also the only Sardinian restaurant in Los Angeles! Definitely will be coming back here soon !!

They have free parking onsite! Don't park on the street or else you will get a ticket. They specialize in Sardinian cuisine so try those dishes! Desserts are very yummy as well.

Super expensive for what was pretty mediocre food. There was only two parties outdoors and the waiter stood in front of those tables for our whole meal waiting to ask questions, take our food, it was so uncomfortable. He even started to clear up empty tables while we were eating which seemed like him wanting us to leave. Our reservation was at 7:40pm on a Tuesday. I felt like I couldn't eat my meal without the waiter listening in to my conversation. Charged the wrong price for the wine + there is a fee for water. It's unfortunate because the menu looked good but the food was actually subpar. Everything came out fast as there were only three total parties (Two of us outside, one inside) but the seafood tasted old, the sauces were bland, and nothing had flavor. We ended up not finishing our meal and left within the hour (super fast due to the fact the waiter literally stood in front of us waiting for us to put our forks down). We went home and ate more food. Whats insane is our bill was $120! One drink + one meal each got us to that price. The place is cute and is in such a nice location, but the 5 star reviews are confusing. This has been one of the worst restaurants I've been to in LA to the point that I felt like I needed to review it.

We had an awesome experience at Carasau Ristorante yesterday. Alex, our server was outstanding. Very attentive, friendly, and informative. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable. The food was delicious!!! Our starter was the celery soup which was vegan and amazingly tasty with just four ingredients. We shared the pasta of the day which was ravioli filled with potato and their homemade pesto. Incredible! And then we shared the Elizabetta pizza with mushrooms. A winner! We all agreed we will return!

We stumbled upon this gem last Saturday May 20, after a disappointing reception by another restaurant which claimed to welcome pets but was not accommodating after all. But what a blessing it was! We lucked out when our group of 7 and 3 fur babies chanced upon Vincenzo, the owner, who was seated at the patio. We were walking by looking for another restaurant and this happened to be just across the street. He graciously accommodated us at their lovely and spacious patio. Little did we know it would be our first Sardinian dining experience. Food was amazing and full of delicious flavors. And the portions were filling. For starters, we ordered Burrata, Fritto Misto, Cioppino (perfect with their delicious bread), capresina and Margherita pizza. Main courses were Fregola di Mare, Fregola Mediterranean, Branzino, Penne with meatballs, Malloreddus and Vincenzo treated us with a sample of Fregola with formaggio cheese to satisfy my brother’s craving for Cacio e peppe. And for desserts, we had Brioche pudding and Sardinian dessert Seadus, both delicious with just right amount of sweetness. And since it was my birthday, Vincenzo surprised me with dessert of berries with ricotta cheese- what a treat! We topped these off with their latte. Overall, the food, ambiance and service deserve 5 stars! We will definitely be back for sure. And we will share our lovely experience with family and friends so they can also enjoy the best Sardinian food. Thanks to Vincenzo and Francesca for a lovely dining experience !
